Vacation Photos: Hyde Park


 Last weekend, I went to Hyde Park with my parents. 
It's a trip we've been talking about for years. 


Vanderbilt Mansion - it was closed but we walked around the grounds

Val-Kill Eleanor Roosevelt's home

The study at Val-kill - where Eleanore write ALL the things.
The more I learn about her, the more I'm fascinated by her and the more I admire her.

FDR's Presidential Library

Note: This is the first Presidential Library I've ever been too, but it was mostly a museum. The books were located on the third floor and the public didn't have access to it. It was disappointing.
